marathon for the swimming championship of the world hitherto the greater part of the course has been in the cold and frequently ch oppy waters of lake ontario in front of the exhibition grounds at toronto and swimmers unused to such conditions often found it beyond endurance b ut this year the races will be over a course laid put entirely between the sea wall and shore this ensures smoother and warmer water it also means that all the contestants will be in plain sight of the spectators during the entire race over two hundred men and women will compete for the 20000 prize m oney the mens

winner to 1930 and holder of the record for the lsnille course lakes wituoct bottoms iitls reported that about twelve miles southeast of roswell in new mexico there are located some dozen or more deep lakes known as the bottomless lakes their situation is at the foot of the bluffs on the east side of the pecos river it is probable that their origin is to be ascribed to the melting of the gypsum as the water flowing from the plains rushed over the bluffs dis solving the gypsum to such a depth as to tap the subterrannean waters of the pecos valley there are i inahy gypsum thr the valley in some places reaching a depth of 800 feet more than 500 artesian wells have been drilled in the pecos valley they are generally sunk to a depth of from 700 to 1100 feet in many of the lakes the gypsum r h l

above the lakes is broken by crevices and for some distance back case has to be exercised in walking these many of the crevices aire wild cat dens and probably other creatures inhabit the caves for they lie in a primitive region visitors to the bluffs some one hundred feet or more above the lakes state that the embankments are nearly vertical in some places certain of these lakes cover fifty or sixty acres while others are just rtsojnd holes across which one can throw a stone the water is of great clearness a white pebble thrown into it- being seen for a considerable distance on its descent toward the bottom a dweller near one of the lakes states that he has measured the depth of a lake near his home and has found a bottom at about 800 feet there have been observed a number of rocks extending from the walls near the surface of this lake and it is- probable that there arethe same formations deeper down so that this man may have ascertained a bottom on one of them instead of

cheating ourselves the story is told of a dishonest worker he and his family were roofless where upon a ertain good samaritan decided to surprise this poor man with a com fortable home so without telling his purpose he hired ths builder at a fan- wage to build aihousc on a sunny- hill and then went on business to a fairraway country the builder was left at work with- no watchman but his own honor lla said he in his heart i can ski ths m and scamp the work so he went jn spinning out the time puttlngln poor servicer pcor nails poor timbers when the good samaritan returned the builder said thats a fine house i built on the hill good was the reply go and move your folks into it at once ferthehouselsryo h th deed u ti the builder was thunderstruck he realized that instead of cheating his friend he had been industrially cheating himself when he did not know it was- his own house he was building that illustration reminds us vividly of the predicament cur voters and taxpayers find themselves in today they suffer under a burden that has become almost unbearable they wall leud and long about the burdens of jaxatlontiwasteful and foolfch governmental expenditure graft and cheap politics but are they not criticising the house- they built themselves back a short time ago when most of us had more money than brains and when we were drunk on the power of the almighty dollar we openly voted for and supported candidates of a spendthrift chaiacter knowing when we did so that we were slipping in shoddy materials in the governmental structure we were building we knew that government justly and economically administered required our sober thought and honest action yet we dismissed the thought with the snap of a finger and went right alpngwithour own selfish pursuit of the dollar we didnt havetlmeto vote intelligently now we are reaping the rewards of course the house we built leaks and cracks and threatens to collapse but we can tblameiton theother fellow we built it ourselves let us profit by our lesson and bulla the next house as it should be- our democratic government lsnt at fault the fault lies with we voters who built it we have been cheating ourselves
